Hothouse 7: Rabbits Fuel Animators

Here’s some rough animation from the fantasy sequence in my film, Missed Connection. It was done basically straight-ahead with a few key poses that I wanted to hit to the beat of the music. For a while I had this section blocked out as a pose of the couple watching a comet shoot through the sky but I found too static for my taste. So I added a bit of extra business which improves the pacing of the entire fantasy sequence.

This was animated on Easter Sunday after consuming an entire Soma Chocolate rabbit. I am now convinced that in order to make the best film possible I will need to consume at least 10 ounces of Soma product every day.
